Good tripods?

Hi guys!
I was wondering what tripods you have found are the best or know are good and let me know why you like them
(I do prefer the ones with chunkier legs and also something that shows the angle/degree!)
as many suggestions as you want people

thanks again!!

I finally found long-lasting happiness with the Manfrotto 055XPROB, but it's been replaced by the MT055XPRO3 which I'm sure is just as good.

I like it because it's solid and because it works. Every time.

All depends on your budget. I personally like my Dolica Proline Tripod I have their G100 Proline Pistol Grip Head on mine. I have Arthritis in my hands and the pistol grip makes it faster and easier for me to move and lock the camera into whatever position I need. I also have two of their TX570B150DS Reversible Traveler 57" Tripod with Ball Head and Integrated Monopod. The are a little shaky but are very small and lightweight a still rated at Max operating load of 15 lbs. They really great when my wife and I are out and about and trying to travel light.

There are better tripods out there and they cost a lot more money but my Dolica tripods are very good and cost a lot less than some.

Like Don said, All depends on your budget.

I got the Manfrotto MT190XPRO3 Aluminium Tripod a couple of weeks ago, very good tripod,
And horoscope fish mentioned the Manfrotto 055XPRO3 also very good.

I also have the Dolica Proline Tripod and am very happy with it. It fit nicely in my budget. I would rather have the extra $ to put toward another lens than several hundred in a tripod. YMMV

The MT055XPRO3 is my go-to tripod. The only time the MeFoto comes out is when I need a compromise and can't pack the Manfrotto for a trip.

I'm excited for my mefoto backpacker. Folds down to about 13". Should be able to take it mountain biking. Not nearly as sturdy as the others listed, but fills a niche I have.

I love my Vanguard Alta Pro 253. Thanks to a sale B&H ran I was able to get this carbon-fiber tripod for the price of aluminum.
